Now Americans would need to be mentally ill to think tyranny won’t get worse.

Who would have thought in 1980 that the USA would soon have curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm?

During the Wild West in the US, everyone could carry guns, businesses were not licensed, no one had Social Security numbers, there were no sales, income, or property taxes, and drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, and prostitution were legal.

There was little government, yet people lived and had freedom.

Your grasp of history leaves a lot to be desired.  First, gun bans were common in the "old west".  You didn't just waltz into town packing heat.  Unlicensed businesses, as you call them, regularly produced and sold products that poisoned or maimed their customers, and got away with it.  Others merely sold useless products that made them money in exchange for nothing.  And you're bitching about Social Security?  Half of the elderly population would be dead if not for SS, and most of the rest would be burdens on their children -- assuming they lived long enough, of course.  Taxes were low, but services were almost nonexistent.  Houses regularly burned to the ground, criminals regularly avoided capture and forget about streets and other amenities.  There were none.
I could go on, but why bother.  If living in a shithole is your idea of greatness, there are still a few of those still around.  Emigrate.
